A crappy chef delivers a crappy meal to your plate out of the finest ingredients. A great chef can take chicken sh!t and turn it into chicken salad…

Like I said–resources and talent acquisition are huge–but coaching is where the greatest impact lies… When you’ve played for both types of coach with essentially the same squad you see things that maybe you don’t on X-box, eh? 😉

The turning point was when he benched Heatley & the team didn’t turn against him. I think he was actually afraid of taking a stand in fear that he would lose the team. Heatley of course handled it with class. Say what you will about him he is a team first player. Once Yeo realized that the rest was easy. He started actually coaching & making line changes in game. He is on a learning curve like everyone else. It was nice to see him improve.

Sat, 07 Jun 2014 01:41:44 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2332582#comment-338882We have the same cap as the rest of the league. How that pie is sliced up is up to the teams gm.

You guys should have ALOT of cap space. Will we see any big moves out of Jersey?

You can be the best coach in the world but if your talent just flat out stinks, most of the time you aren’t going to go anywhere. I know you always have to be right and put your 2 cents in, but c’mon. Purpleguy isn’t wrong on this one. The wild spent some money to bring in some high quality talent and a core of guys who want to win. When you have talent they can make the coaches look better than they are. If you want to see a guy who coached his AHL team to an incredible NHL season this year look no further than Detroit. If you think Yeo could have done that, then I’d argue you’re mistaken. Not to say Yeo is a bad coach, I just think that generally you give him a lot more credit than he deserves. I believe he will lead the Wild to many winning seasons in the future, but it will be behind the talent that has been brought in.

Pierre McGuire in Hartford.

Fri, 06 Jun 2014 20:28:25 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2332582#comment-338776Incorrect on this one, purpleguy… The examples in all four major sports are plentiful–spending money does not necessarily correlate to success… You really need look no further than the Washington Redskins to see that…

Resources and talent acquisition are obviously huge…but the glue that pulls everything together is a head coach who can pull a room of men together–and have them PLAY FOR EACH OTHER– as ONE.

That’s the difference between a team sport and individual sport…

Fri, 06 Jun 2014 20:25:21 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2332582#comment-338774Although I was a doubter after living through the Todd Richards era (could there have ever been a more baffled coach in the history of the NHL than Richards iin MN??), I have come around on Yeo. I am willing to give him three more years of my confidence, especially if he stops favoring has been veterans like Heatley and Brodziak and makes total use of the Haulas, Coyles and Granlunds in his quiver of players. Good signing. MTC.
